BitBucket > Setting up a Git repository

It is still my goal to have my own AWS-powered LAMP server (or Windows tech equivalent) server up and running where I'll host a Git server, mail server, web server, etc. But what I wish for and what is realistic are generatlly two very different things, so it's time to get a bit more realistic in the short term. And that newfound realism is going to start with setting up a Git repository on BitBucket so that we'll have a lightweight method to share coding projects over multiple locations.

How to:

• Create an account at BitBucket - this should speak for itself
• Create an EMPTY Git repository on your BitBucket account
• Go to the empty repsository at BitBucket and...
• click 'Clone'
• A popup will appear containing text starting with "git clone"
• Copy all text MINUS "git clone" to the clipboard
• Create a new project (optionally with initial code) in Visual Studio
• Add the project to Source Control in Visual Studio (if necessary)
• Commit the project
• You'll get an error message that the project wasn't added to a remote repository and a screen with an option to provide the URL of the remote repo
• Paste the clipboard into the URL field
• Click the obvious button and...
• DONE :-)

Definitely can be done neater, but this works.
